HE PEARL OF PEACE.

A bivalve feeding in the warm, salt sea
Draws inward with the wave sandy grain,
Which, not returning with the wave again,
Remains hedceforth its secret grief to be.
Day after day, so sea wise folk agree,
Tue creature hides it in dew like rain
Of ceaseleSs tears, till, hardened out of pain,
A precious pearl is fashioned perfectly.
From outer seas of passion, seas of strife,
There drifts at times upon the human heart,
secret, ranking grief that day by day
We cover with the bitter tears of life,
TILL wrought of pain, from out our nobler par
The pearl of peace remains with US alway.

The Movable Ball0t-b0x.

This is the last day on which the primary
ballots can be put into the movable ballot
boxes. From what we have learned, a very
full primary vote has been cast, as it should
have been; for certainly no fairer mode of
getting the sense of the majority, and no
more convenient mode to the voters could
possibly have been adopted. 1t was the
duty of the voters to vote in the primary,
and it will be their duty to vote for the
nominees at the election in May whether
they voted for them in the primary or not.
This is the only honorable way for Dem
ocratic voters to do, and it is the only way
in which the organization of the Democrat
ic party can be preserved, and its success
accomplished. Some think that if they dc
not vote in the primary election, they are
under no obligation to vote for the nemi-
nees; but this is altogether mistake, fol
it is as much the duty of the Democrat who
does not vote in the primary, as it is of him
who does, to aid in preserving the organiza-
ton and securing the success of the Demo
cratic party. No democrat should fail tc
be in line on the day of election, and to dc
his duty as a good soldier. There should
no deserters or skulkers.
Since the foregoing was written, add
tional intelligence from all parts of the
county has come in to the Com mittee, anG
the vote will be but few hundred less thar
the full strength of the party in the county.
The wisdom of the action taken by tht
Committee has been approved by the ranl
and file of the party, and instead of discord
ant elements and friends contending will
friends in heated contests, we shall have
the old phalanx united, and will poll large
| majority for the standard bearers.

SilO and Ensilage-The Prairie Farmer.

One of our most agreeable duties as d
journalist has been the presenting of prac-
tieal facts in connection with the compare
lively new and valuable method of preserv-
ing green food for stock, which is recev-
ing good share of attention from our Val
ley farmers. All who have tested the ex-
pediency of the silo and the value of ensi-
lage have no desire to retrace their steps.
A few months since, in addition to infor-
nation impaired by others, we published
the plans and experience Of Mr.. M. Erskine
Miller in growing, curing, and feeding en-
silage, who has, we suppose, upon his
"Edgewood Stock farm" near this city, the
finest full-blooded Jersey herd in the State.
Mr.. Miller treated the subject of the silo
and ensilage very thoroughly, in connection
with its advantages for his enterprise, and
his contribution to the new departure was
generally received with great favor.
That fine weekly, the Prairie Farmer.
published at Chicago, which is always
abreast with the progress in all the de-
partments OF the farm. the growing OF
livestock, and the economic industries that
pertain to rural life and pursuits, devotes
nearly the entire number of it's 16-page
weekly of the 10th instant to the silo and
ensilage. There are many articles pre-
pared by several different writer's The
plans of building silos below and above the
surface are illustrated, and the entire sub
ject treated from many different stand
points. It furnishes also illustrations of
the machinery employed in making and
harvesting the crop.
The Farmer is pursuing the plan of
furnishing in single issue thorough dis
cussien on some one Of the several different
topics that most interest farmers and
stock-growers. 1t has had its corn and

unfaltering discharge of the duties of his
Office as he believes rights fixing the
purpose and determination in the minds of
the people to make him President for four
years longer. His administration has
steadily and surely won the confidence and
the admiration of the thinking and censer-
vative men of the country. He has lifted
the Democratic party from the low range
of scramble for Offices up to the plane Of
the grand purpose of administering the
government for the country's welfare-to
restore peace and confidence, by showing
all sections, that each has an equal right
in the government, and should share alike
in its emoluments. This policy has restor
ed fraternal feeling in the Union, and hat
thus given impetus and firmness to trade
and commerce, which are felt and appreci
ated by the country. The business men
the practical agriculturists and the leading
professional men are mainly strong support

the admirable conservatism which saved us
from the confusion and interminablt
trouble, which would have followed {
wreckless and indiscriminate change of of

presidency. To have thus wrecklessly

/. A PHENOMENAL SToRM.-MAsoN CRY,
Iowa, April yesterday afternoon the
sun suddenly became obscured and thunder,
accompanied by lightning and a light rain
set in. Suddenly, after deafening thun-
der clap, the sun burst through the clouds,
and, while shining as brightly as before the
storm, hail began to fall, continuing for
quarter of an hour, striking the ground
with the force of bullets. The-hail stones,
which were the size of sparrow eggs, broke
windows, and stampeded teams upon the
streets, and fell in such quantities that
they had to be removed with shovels. So
phenomenal or severe hail-storm in this
section old residents do not remember.
During the storm the barn of William Judd,
south of the town, was struck by lightning
and was burned with its contents.

Newspaper advertising is the most ener-
